Footage Of Fetty Wap Freestyling Before He Blew Up

Watch Fetty Wap rap for his friends before he became famous.

Not long ago, Fetty Wap was just another dude from Paterson, NJ with a dollar and a dream. Even when "Trap Queen" took off, few could have predicted his unprecedented rise to prominence that followed -- signing to 300 Ent., becoming the first rapper to have two concurrent top 10 singles since Lil Wayne, and even inspiring this boy to go to school without wearing his prosthetic eye.

A couple months ago, someone posted footage of Fetty rapping an a capella freestyle inside a casual eatery. His friends are certainly feeling it as he raps, "nigga I deserve to shine, 'cause all a nigga know is grind."

Mr. Wap is an alum of our On the Come Up series, watch his episode from the beginning of 2015 below.
